Nelly LiuOctober 25, 2014Great tapas place, no crazy wait either. Loved Nuestras Bravas and Bombas BCN. Paella is also good. But I think toro bravo makes a better squid ink pasta. Awesome sangria. Will be back.
Andrew BennettJuly 22, 2015Potato bravas along with many others were some of our favourite dishes during our week long stay in culinary exquisite city.
Vincent TangOctober 5, 2015It's worth the wait! Paella Ataula is delicious and I'd recommend grabbing on and then sharing a couple of other small dishes. Left filling extremely satisfied and wishing I had room to try more.
Serious EatsJanuary 3, 2014Taste the flavors of Barcelona at Ataula, where Spanish chef Jose Chesa channels Michelin-starred restaurant experience into tapas classics, paellas, and a knockout Sunday brunch.
Stuart CoatesOctober 6, 2014Angel the bartender is the best. Her warm spirit and expertise in the craft leaves you totally impressed. The food is Spanish with a Catalan twist. Get anything with octopus, especially the paella.
Whit BreedenJuly 14, 2016Pricey, but oh so good. Highly recommend the montadito on the picar list and the nuestras bravas are off the chart- EaterJanuary 6, 2014Jose Chesa emphasizes a convivial vibe at Ataula, which considers itself a Spanish gastropub. The tapas themselves combine similar levels of comforting familiarity and playfulness.
Stephanie ChaseMarch 2, 2014PORTLAND MONTHLY named the xuixos de crema ("perfect croissant dough... vanilla-bean speckled custard cream... roll in cinnamon, sugar, Sichuan pepper") one of the "10 things to devour in 2014."
Allie RJuly 29, 2017Absolutely delicious! We let the chef chose what we ordered and everything was outstanding. Great atmosphere, excellent service. Can't wait to come back!
Angel is one of my favorite bartenders in Portland. She always makes tasty and creative beverages.
- Nelly LiuOctober 25, 2014Also, have to have the mini xiuxo, fried croissant filled with custard. Amazing!
Colleen ShowalterMay 29, 2015Great authentic Spanish cuisine. Amazing small plates and great service.
Definitely try the potato thing. Sangria was awesome too
